No Bo Horvat today as he's working his way back from Milan. No question he'll be in MTL. We'll see if he gets on the ice before team's morning skate on Thursday. #Isles

Alexander Romanov (shoulder) is shooting and stick-handling ahead of practice, as he did on Friday. #Isles

"You take a week off, and you come back, and you don’t feel good. You've got to rebuild that rhythm a little bit. And that’s what this week was all about." #Isles took advantage of their post-Olympic-break practices www.theelmonters.com/p/new-york-i...

"You could see in his face. I mean, he's excited about practicing on his own and taking some shots [...] It's a long injury, and he's gonna have to be patient." #Isles @thehockeynews.bsky.social thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york...

Mayhem at #Isles practice in small-game drill with nets stationed at the top and bottom of the circle. Puck is loose. Rittich decides to skate up with it and get a shot. Then, Sorokin gets a look, but Rittich kicks out the right pad.

Coming in the AM for @TheElmonters subscribers: Talked to Roslyn native & #Flames  prospect Ethan Wyttenbach on growing up an #Isles  fan — and how that passion fueled him to where he is today and hopes to be. Subscribe: www.theelmonters.com

#Isles Patrick Roy following today's practice (H/t @NYIslanders): -Get feet wet kind of day -Conditioning, structure work up next - Will skate rest of week before having Sat & Sunday off - Higher level stuff on Monday - "We'll see" on Horvat/Palat practicing before MTL

Emil Heineman was on an offensive tear to begin the season. Despite the cool-off, the first-year #Isles is focusing on his 200-ft game, learning what he can from Bo Horvat www.theelmonters.com/p/emil-heine...

When #Smashville was in town, I spoke with former #Isles HC Barry Trotz about the 2020 Bubble experience. "That was the first year the belief really set in that we could do some damage." More from Trotz @TheElmonters ⤵️ www.theelmonters.com/p/barry-trot...

"When we get back, it’s full throttle.” #Isles Matthew Schaefer’s ceiling is immeasurable at this moment in time. The question now: Can he continue to raise the bar after the Olympic break? Happy Free Friday! @TheElmonters www.theelmonters.com/p/matthew-sc...

#Isles beat #NJDevils 3-1 to sweep the season series. Horvat's late goal at 16:33 of the third is the game-winner. Back-to-back games where No. 14 came up clutch. Head into Olympic break in third place, and remain one point behind #LetsGoPens.

Mathew Barzal. ENG with 23.3 seconds to play in the third. #Isles up 3-1.

Bo Horvat. Face-off loss, but he jumps on the puck and beats Allen through the legs after a failed poke-check. #Isles up 2-1 with 3:27 to go in the third.

Lee to Holmstrom but he can't tuck it past the right pad of Allen. #Isles

DeAngelo snaps his stick on a point shot but Pageau works his tail off to get back and slow down #NJDevils rush. #Isles

DeAngelo with a heck of a pass to Gatcomb cutting in, but Markstrom stands tall and holds on with 14:24 to go in the third. #Isles

#Isles get turned around in own zone off a #NJDevils rush but Sorokin makes a strong save at the top of his crease to keep this game tied.

Third is a go. 1-1. #Isles

Anders Lee looks to be okay. #Isles

Lee went down awkwardly in the face-off dot. Was in a lot of pain heading to the bench. Walked down the tunnel after the period ended under his own power. #Isles with just seven shots through 40 minutes of play. 1-1 is the score.

#NJDevils tie the game at 1-1 with 1:34 to go in the second. Hischer roofs one glove side. #Isles with too many mistakes in own zone. Got lucky a few times but luck ran out.

Ilya Sorokin stones Bratt with the right pad. #Isles

You just have to love what you are seeing from Ritchie tonight in all three zones in his first game back. #Isles

Sorokin with his best Pelech impression to deny Hamilton's try. #Isles

Adam Pelech with the right flipper to deny Hameenaho, who was staring down a wide-open net. #Isles

MacLean high-sticking penalty with 12:56 to go in the second, with #Isles up 1-0.

Cizikas. 1-0 #Isles with 13:30 to go in the second. Allen turnover. Gatcomb to MacLean, whose redirect created a rebound that Cizikas buried.

#Isles get their second shot of the period with 14:45 to go in the second. Had 2 in first period.

Second period is a go. #Isles and #NJDevils scoreless.

#Isles with only two shots as the first period comes to a close. They had some real strong puck movement, but missed every chance. Also had a handful of shots blocked. No score.

Drouin's second turnover of the period leads to a breakaway for Mercer, but he hits the crossbar on a backhand try with 48.3 seconds to go in the first. #Isles
